Toddler Rhymes for Yours and Mine

As Daddy gets home from a very long day, Mom greets him at the door and has one thing to say, “You must be very quiet, both the children are asleep.” So around the corner and up the stairs Daddy silently creeps. As I peer around the corner, expecting to see your closed door, Instead I see it open, with you standing intently on the floor. “Will you lay with me, Dad?” whispers my little boy, I always will buddy, you fill me with joy. No matter the stress, the long hours, or days, Nothing could ever keep your father away. Your innocence lights up and fills all my heart, The only hard day is a day spent apart. Sweet dreams to you son, may they be pure and true, For all of my heart is with our family and you.
